This is all about slavery and disguising it in such a way so you don't think you are one. But, as always, the slave masters get too greedy and too heavy with the whip then the slaves revolt. The slaves were content with being the, "middle class" (puke), but the slave masters needed more from them thus reducing their middle class status. We are watching a constant historical lesson here about greed, both on the master’s part and the slave’s.
